A couple of weeks ago, I started to make a little folk art doll for a 5 year old's birthday. This week, I finished it. It has black hair, just like the five year old. Purple is her favourite colour.
I continue to work on my Mill Hill cross stitch on perforated paper. It's coming along nicely. The green line of stitches on the right goes all the way around the picture.
I spent a couple of hours working on handquilting my pineapple log cabin quilt this week. The blocks were made a couple of years ago for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. 2/12 blocks are quilted. I am moving on to the light green block next.
The azalea bush started to bloom this week. It will soon be covered in these beautiful pink flowers.
We were outside this am trimming some hydrangea bushes and Finn was making himself comfortable on the grass nearby.
I have several types of daffodils in the gardens--this one is a double daffodil.
We took Finn for a long walk last evening in Port Stanley. The water was calm. No wind. Finn had a grand time and was ready to have a nap when he got home.
These grape hyacinths are in several places in our gardens.
The cream/yellow hellebores are in bloom too. So pretty in the sunshine!
Finn likes to lie in this chair--its a good vantage point to see us when we are working in the kitchen. You can see his eyes better now as he had a haircut this week.
Finn takes his tax collection duties very seriously. The cheese tax must be paid!
I will link up with Kathy, Angela and Frederique. Have a wonderful week!
Isn't that doll cute?! I hope she is well-loved by her new mama! I see scraps I recognize from my stash in your dark blue pineapple pieces. That's always fun! Lots of pretty daffodils in your yard, too!
ReplyDeleteYour little doll is lovely, pretty in purple! Well done with your projects in progress, thank you for sharing them and linking up. Pet Finn ;)
ReplyDeleteYour cross stitch has grown considerable! That little doll is very sweet and her purple dress is adorable. Nice to see all your lovely plants coming into bloom. Makes me feel the cold weather may have finished and Finn really enjoying himself!
ReplyDeleteThat doll you made is adorable.
ReplyDeleteI admire your beautiful hand quilting. And the doll is adorable. We have daffodils blooming around town and my friend says her hyacinths are up too. None in my yard. But I love seeing others.
ReplyDeleteAaaw that little folk art doll is precious. I am sure it will be well loved and played with. Your Mill Hill's stitch is looking fabulous; you are coming right along. Thank you for taking us on a garden tour. The blooms are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteCheese tax for Finn, of course!
ReplyDeleteyour flowers are lovely....i had a nice varied collection of daffodils at one time...they are such pretty spring heralds...
ReplyDeleteThe doll is adorable! The little girl is going to love it. So thoughtful to make it look like her in a purple dress. Love that Finn. I like a nap after an outing too!
